Do you keep logs?

No, we do not keep logs of your browsing activity, IP addresses, or any personally identifiable information. Your privacy is our top priority, and we maintain a strict no-logs policy.

Can I access any website?

You can access most websites through our proxy. However, some websites with advanced security measures may detect and block proxy traffic.

Is my connection secure?

Yes, your connection through ProxyMule is secure and encrypted. However, for maximum security, we recommend using HTTPS websites. Our proxy supports SSL encryption to protect your data.

How do I hide my IP address?

Can I use ProxyMule on mobile devices?

What if a website doesn't load properly?

Some websites with complex JavaScript or special security features may not work perfectly through a proxy. Try refreshing the page or accessing a different mirror of the website.

Can I unblock websites at school or work?

Yes, ProxyMule can help you bypass internet filters and firewalls commonly found in schools, workplaces, and public networks. Our proxy service allows you to access blocked websites and restricted content safely.

Does ProxyMule support HTTPS websites?

Yes, our proxy fully supports HTTPS and SSL encrypted websites. We recommend using HTTPS websites whenever possible for maximum security and privacy protection.

What's the difference between a proxy and a VPN?

A web proxy like ProxyMule works through your browser and doesn't require any software installation. VPNs require software and encrypt all your device traffic. Proxies are faster and easier to use for quick anonymous browsing.

Can I use ProxyMule to access social media?

Yes, you can use our proxy to access social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others, especially if they're blocked in your location or network. Our service helps you unblock social media websites safely.

Is ProxyMule safe to use?

Yes, ProxyMule is safe to use. We don't store your data, inject malware, or track your activity. However, always be cautious about entering sensitive information like passwords or credit card details when using any proxy service.

Can I watch videos and stream content?

While ProxyMule can access video sites, streaming performance may vary depending on the website and video quality. For best results with streaming services, we recommend standard definition content.

Does ProxyMule work with all browsers?

Yes, our web-based proxy works with all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and Brave. No browser extensions or plugins required.

Can I open multiple tabs through the proxy?

While you can have multiple tabs open, each new page needs to be accessed through our proxy form. For continuous anonymous browsing across multiple pages, keep using the proxy for each new URL.

How fast is ProxyMule?

ProxyMule uses high-speed servers to provide fast browsing speeds. However, speed can be slightly slower than direct connections due to the routing through our proxy servers. We continuously optimize our infrastructure for the best performance.

Can I access websites blocked in my country?

Yes, ProxyMule can help you bypass geographic restrictions and access websites blocked in your country. Our proxy servers can help you access content from anywhere in the world.

Does using a proxy protect me from hackers?

Using a proxy adds a layer of protection by hiding your real IP address, making it harder for hackers to target your device directly. However, for complete security, also use HTTPS websites and keep your software updated.

Can I download files through ProxyMule?

Yes, you can download files through our proxy service. However, for large downloads, direct connections are typically faster and more reliable.
